Well I must say you sound like you're in real trouble.
The drinking will do nothing for helping you get a handle on your anxiety, not to mention depression, and you don't want to do things that will make you feel badly about yourself either, or put you or other people in harm's way.You sound like you KNOW it is a problem
Do I even have to mention the klonopin issue with the alcohol? benzo + alcohol =bad news
When you know it can be bad news, but you do it, I wonder how depressed you might be to put yourself in such danger.I'm kind of scared for you Robert although I don't know you. It sounds like a cycle that can keep going and just get worse, and somewhere in there you have just been lucky, just luck.
OK, I know when you feel horrible it can make it easier to drink/drug yourself into oblivion, and let me say as well I have done things under the influence that make me shudder - total self-destructiveness. So I hope I don't come off as unempathetic to your struggle. I hope you can get a handle on this. Talk to a T, a pdoc, both, AA meeting? Please do. Please post again. You sound like you're in a dark place. Take good care of yourself OK?
